Sex toy manufacturer Sex Doll has reported a major spike in sales as social distancing forces singles–and couples–to avoid finding new sex partners.
The company has already sold more dolls in the first quarter of this year than in the whole of 2019. Statistics also show an increase in the number of male sex dolls to queer men and women. The company has even expanded the workforce to keep up with demand.
“We are seeing the sex doll industry go through a revolution during the COVID-19 pandemic with a huge increase in orders from both couples and male and single females,” company spokesperson Janet Stevenson told GayStarNews. “Couples who have been quarantined together seem to be much more open to trying something new after possibly experimenting more during the lockdown. We are also seeing more single men and women placing orders for the first time. We think this is because they view solo play as a safer alternative to dating apps.”
A doll made by Sex Doll retails at just over $2,000, with male dolls costing slightly more than their female counterparts (we won’t ask why). With social distancing policies still firmly in place due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Sex Doll anticipates higher demand for the foreseeable future.
Why A Sex Doll to Have Is Like Having Around a Best Sex Buddy?
Hottest Sexual Acts Possible with Sex Dolls- No Questions Asked!
Gay and bi men and women and couples are buying sex dolls in record numbers to relieve coronavirus lockdown boredom.
One sex doll company has released sales figures showing more people bought dolls in the first three months of the year than in the whole of 2019.
Their stats show gay and bi men and women are even more likely than other men and women to have bought one of the dolls.
Likewise, same-sex couples are also keen to add one of the dolls to their bedroom fun.
But the biggest rise of all appears to be among experimental heterosexual couples. That would appear to mean that some people in ‘straight’ relationships are using the lockdown to enjoy their bi side
Sexual liberation during lockdown
Sex Doll, which operates in the US and Europe, claims to be the the largest sex doll store in the world.
It makes made-to-order dolls. The most popular male doll, Lucas, costs $2,250 and the best-selling female doll, Frankie retails at $2,080.

Indeed, LGBT+ organizations have warned that sex with people outside the home is high risk for passing on coronavirus. It is also a breach of lockdown rules.
However, sex with someone you live with is relatively safer, provided neither of you have COVID-19 symptoms.
That’s led to LGBT+ health charities actively promoting masturbation and sex toy use during the pandemic. There’s more advice on sex during the COVID-19 crisis here.
Meanwhile Sex Doll is adding resources to meet worldwide demand.
The company told GSN: ‘We are okay on supply. But the shipments are getting severely delayed from China as FedEx and other carriers are struggling to have enough planes in the air due to the pandemic.
‘What we’re running out of is staff so we’re hiring as fast as we can.’
